Story Behind The Song

I wrote this song for my Grandmother the day after she passed away. We recorded it and played it at the funeral.

Song Description

A slow, emotional song about losing a loved one and seeing their presence live on in all of the friends and loved ones that they affected during their life.

Lyrics

We never stop to count the days

And so they slip away so fast and turn to years behind the glass

We never stop to count the ways

We touch so many lives along the clumsy footprints on our path

And in a flash its gone to these mortal eyes alone

Cause all the good that's said and done will carry on and on


Time will keep on running out till the world runs out of time

And this is mine to give my heart to you

Cause you and I will come and go but our spirit never dies

We stay alive inside the ones we leave behind


So we take this time to pause

and grieve the selfish loss of what was never really ours

And standing here in times like these

Gives us all the chance to see how precious each new day can be

Though we all will leave this place for enlightenment and grace

Still in everything we give, our life on earth remains

Chorus

All that's beautiful relies

On everyone who lives and dies to give a sacrifice

Like butterflies and hurricanes

We touch the world in gentle ways

And leave our mark upon a place that is forever changed

Chorus
